Menus, dialogs, and tabs are all nearly totally unreadable on my system (1920x1200 15.4 laptop), and pages are also being rendered with half the font size. My font size settings are exactly where I left them last time. echo MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1 ~/.mozilla/firefox/rc That's what changed. Pango has been enabled.

I think you get no problem if you set the gnome dpi to the default 96 value. I have the following in my .Xresources file: ! 88 is the right value so that the 8pt monospace font in gnome-terminal ! has the same width as the 8pt-10pt bitmap fixed font. 96 is too much. Xft.dpi:88 Note that because of gnome-terminal and due to the fact that the monospace font isn't available for less than 8pt, I cannot use 96. Unless you know another workaround... I don't use gnome, though I use some GTK-based applications such as Firefox and gnome-terminal. -- Vincent Lefèvre [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Web: http://www.vinc17.org/ 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: http://www.vinc17.org/blog/ Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / SPACES project at LORIA
